ThinkVantage Password Manager allows users to save passwords for Web sites and Windows applications, and subsequently auto-fills those passwords when the user visits those Web sites or logs on to the application. Password Manager provides a user interface that allows the user to review and modify entries stored in the password database. The user interface also allows the user to configure the application’s settings.

The Administrative Template file (ADM) defines policy settings used by applications on the client computers. Policies are specific settings that govern the application behavior. Policy settings also define whether the user will be allowed to set specific settings through the application. Settings defined by an administrator on the server are defined as policies. Settings defined by a user on the client computer for an application are defined as preferences. As defined by Microsoft, policy settings take precedence over preferences.

Note:

Thinkpad Power Manager ADM and the Desktop Power Manager ADM use the same entry in the Active Directory.

Version control for System Update
You can control the version of System Update that is available to your users by configuring your network repository to store specific versions of System Update locally using the SSClientCommon.zip tool. Storing versions of System Update locally enables the System Update application to search for upgrades within your network. For additional information, see the Deployment Guide.

Thin Installer searches for the update packages from a repository that you create. The repository can be created on your local hard drive, a network share, or external media such as a CD, DVD, or USB hard drive. When Thin Installer finishes installing applicable packages, no registry keys relating to Thin Installer exist - thus the user only needs to delete the folder containing Thin Installer to remove all files associated with Thin Installer and the associated repository (e.g. zero-footprint).

Due to the overwhelming popularity of ThinkVantage Update Retriever (TVUR) and ThinkVantage System Update (TVSU), Lenovo has made many improvements to the back-end infrastructure. TVUR has also been enhanced in several areas to provide better performance, usability, and improved error-code handling. To take full advantage of these end-to-end improvements, Lenovo strongly recommends updating TVUR to version 5.00.0011. For a complete list of features, please refer to the Readme file.

Note: While getting the new updates, if you are receiving the message, "The Package Index Server is temporarily unavailable", please update TVUR to this version.
